Places to see in ( Corsica - France )
Corsica, a mountainous Mediterranean island, presents a mix of stylish coastal towns, dense forest and craggy peaks (Monte Cinto is the highest). Nearly half the island falls within a park whose hiking trails include the challenging GR 20. Corsica beaches range from busy Pietracorbara to remote Saleccia and Rondinara. It's been part of France since 1768, but retains a distinct Italian culture.
Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 13 regions of France. Corsica is located west of the Italian Peninsula, southeast of the French mainland, and north of the Italian island of Sardinia. A single chain of mountains make up two-thirds of the island. While being part of France, Corsica is also designated as a territorial collectivity (collectivité territoriale) by law. As a territorial collectivity, Corsica enjoys a greater degree of autonomy than other French regions; for example, the Corsican Assembly is able to exercise limited executive powers.
The island formed a single department until it was split in 1975 into two departments: Haute-Corse (Upper Corsica) and Corse-du-Sud (Southern Corsica), with its regional capital in Ajaccio, the prefecture city of Corse-du-Sud. Bastia, the prefecture city of Haute-Corse, is the second-largest settlement in Corsica. After being ruled by the Republic of Genoa since 1284, Corsica was briefly an independent Corsican Republic from 1755 until Corsica was conquered by France in 1769. Due to Corsica's historical ties with the Italian peninsula, the island retains to this day many elements of the culture of Italy. The native Corsican language, whose northern variant is closely related to the Italian language, is recognised as a regional language by the French government. This Mediterranean island was ruled by various nations over the course of history but had several brief periods of independence. Napoleon was born in 1769 in the Corsican capital of Ajaccio. His ancestral home, Maison Bonaparte, is today used as a museum.

PART II: Abandoned Edison Lake Rd. Bridge (aka French Landing Bridge) near Belleville, Michigan
Our look at the old Edison Lake bridge continues, as we take a walk across the narrow roadway on top of the bridge and take a look at the surroundings, including French Landing Dam. Unfortunately, the rain started to fall harder, cutting our visit short for the time being. I'll probably revisit the bridge in the fall. Link to PART ONE: SPRING 2019: In the years since I first visited this bridge, I have uncovered a bit more accurate info about the structure. It was called Trunk Line Bridge #66 when completed, and carried Huron River Drive, which was part of the Wayne County Road Commission's Outer Belt Route and later was State Highway M-56, connecting Belleville with Monroe and Flat Rock. Because of this, I'm not certain this it was a one-lane bridge, the few photos I've been able to find appear to depict a wider roadway. In any case, M-56 seems to have been decomissioned by 1957, and according to one map the bridge was closed sometime prior to 1960.
